▸ • Anthropic buys Stainless and immediately pulls the ladder up on OpenAI and Google's SDK generation.
▸ • A massive npm supply chain attack dubbed 'Mini Shai-Hulud' compromises over 300 packages in 22 minutes.
▸ • LG announces a 1000Hz gaming monitor because your human eyes are clearly the bottleneck.
In a ruthless infrastructure play, Anthropic acquired Stainless—the startup that automates SDK creation for OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare. Anthropic is winding down hosted products, effectively taking a crucial API tool out of their competitors' hands.
You can now kick off a long-running Copilot CLI or VS Code session on your machine and monitor or steer it from your phone. Perfect for when you want to pretend you're working while actually in line for a burrito.
LG just announced the UltraGear 25G590B, the world's first native 1000Hz 1080p gaming monitor. It's designed for esports pros who need to see their inevitable defeat render one thousand times per second.
SandboxAQ is integrating its Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) into Claude via MCP. This allows researchers to run complex quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics simulations using natural language instead of a PhD in computing.
A massive supply chain attack just hit the npm ecosystem, compromising 317 packages (including massive ones like `size-sensor` and `echarts-for-react`) in a 22-minute automated burst. The malware harvests AWS, Kubernetes, and GitHub tokens, exfiltrating them via public GitHub repos. Check your lockfiles immediately.
Standard UUIDs eat up valuable context window tokens when fed to LLMs. This clever alternative generates token-efficient identifiers specifically designed for AI agents, saving you money and context space.
A new type-safe Haskell bindings generator for Rust. Because sometimes you want the memory safety of a crab combined with the pure functional superiority complex of a monad.
A beautiful, interactive demonstration of 3D Gaussian splatting rendering a strawberry in the browser. It's a great look at where web-based 3D rendering is heading.
A man tried to sue Facebook users for calling him a bad date in an 'Are We Dating the Same Guy' group. He used AI to write the lawsuit, which naturally hallucinated fake legal citations, leading to a spectacular courtroom fail.
Xbox launched a 'Player Voice' portal to gather fan feedback. The community immediately used it to aggressively demand exclusive games and free online multiplayer, proving once again that you should never ask the internet what it wants.
